Metrics evaluate the quality of software by analyzing the program source
and quantifying various kind of complexity. Complexity is a common source
of problems and defects in software. High complexity makes it more difficult
to develop, understand, maintain, extend, test and debug a program.
The primary use of metrics is to focus your attention on those parts of code
that potentially are complexity hot spots. Once the complex areas your
program have been uncovered, you can take remedial actions.
